What properties do ceramics have? As we've already seen, the most important general property of ceramics is that they're refractory: they're rough-and-tumble materials that will put up with fair amounts of abuse in the most ordinary and extraordinary situations. Just consider, most of us tile our kitchens and bathrooms because ceramic tiles are hard, waterproof, largely resistant to scratches, and keep on looking good for year upon year; but engineers also put (very different!) ceramic tiles on space rockets to protect them against heat when they whiz back to Earth. If we're summarizing their properties, we can say that ceramics have: High melting points (so they're heat resistant). Great hardness and strength. Considerable durability (they're long-lasting and hard-wearing). Low electrical and thermal conductivity (they're good insulators).

Ceramic materials are special because of their properties. They typically possess high melting points, low electrical and thermal conductivity values, and high compressive strengths. Also they are generally hard and brittle with very good chemical and thermal stability. Ceramic materials can be categorized as traditional ceramics and advanced ceramics. Ceramic materials like clay are categorized as traditional ceramics and normally they are made of clay, silica, and feldspar. As its name suggests, traditional ceramics are not supposed to meet rigid specific properties after their production, so cheap technologies are utilized for most of the production processes.
Short about Ceramic Design The Master’s degree programme in Ceramic Design is a specialisation in the use of silica-based materials such as clay, concrete, plaster and glass as ceramic materials in various professional contexts. The overall objective of the programme is to prepare students for careers as ceramic designers through independent specialisation in relation to research, artistic research practice and in relevant practical and professional contexts. The objective of the programme is to expand the student’s understanding of specific ceramic materials and working processes on the basis of their own chosen specialisation, and further to support the development of their personal artistic profile under the guidance of the programme’s teachers.




Wow!! Very nice Ceremic Art work.
